    Monique is a wonderful person! He has worried a lot so that he can have gluten free food, he also has a lot of conversation. Very hospitable! At least it's a boat, don't ask for much, the cabin is narrow, but cozy, with good air conditioning. It's very funny to get up and look through the bull's eye. It is very curious to stay in such a place. Very well located.

    Was there the first and last time! No clean place to sleep. Chemical smells and smells everywhere. I was happy to skip breakfast. Highly recommended for anyone who needs to save money.

    Very noisy and very hot. Better when it's not so hot.

    It was an experience to sleep on a ship like that. Is very centrally located, not far from the train station in Amsterdam. Nice hosts and the breakfast was also great.

    The ship is now called FLOW and that's what a stay on the hostel ship feels like. A very nice boy and chilled crew. The cabins and toilets are extremely narrow, but they are enough for sleeping. You don't want to sleep much in Amsterdam anyway. There is just so much to see and explore. A very lively city. The ship or boat is close to the train station and center (about 15 minutes on foot) and right next to the Maritime Museum and NEMO, the Science Museum. The zoo is also only 10 minutes away. Top location and yet comparatively quiet. The ship has snacks, drinks and breakfast and a pleasant common area to sit, drink and play. When the weather is good, it's great to stay up on deck and the view of the water, the skyline and the starry sky is great. Great address to explore Amsterdam.

    Central and suggestive place because it is on the canal. Warm rooms even if tiny. In 4 people we could only enter one person at a time and the others had to wait outside. Shared bathrooms and no windows. Affordable prices by Amsterdam standards. Abundant breakfast

    We booked the MS Vertigo in Amsterdam for three nights. Lucky for us, Monique speaks French which made the discussion easier for us. Fair price, clean toilets, breakfast included in the price and it is plentiful, as much as you can eat. Well located. The only downside for us is that we are a couple and they are single bunk beds.

  • 1/5 Roland A. 3 years ago on Google β€’ 20 reviews
    The room is only 3m2, so it's difficult for two people to get in and stand in it at the same time. The beds are extremely short and narrow. The longest! was just 1.80m. All others are much shorter. Sitting in bed doesn't work either because the distance to the ceiling or the next bed is far too small. The only ventilation is through a small porthole. It is usually hot and stuffy. The only toilet that exists for each gender is even hotter. Here you hit the door with your knees. It can't be ventilated at all. It almost goes without saying that the showers are tiny. If you have to stay on the ship longer, you can use a lounge and a somewhat unkempt roof terrace. You can also have breakfast there in the morning. That was actually the best part of the stay. However, you shouldn't expect anything more than youth hostel level here.

    Execrable value for money, it costs 100 euros per night for 3 m2! And more in cash! No welcome, no flexibility on the part of Monique, certainly alcoholic

😐 It is a large, somewhat impersonal, completely unshaded and extremely noisy campsite (we were in the tented section).Noisy because there is a large multi-lane bridge nearby, which is still very busy at night. Also noisy because of the "cigarette smokers". There are no rules and regulations - or if t...
